TCU Favored But Under Could Shine | North Carolina Tar Heel Football News

College football’s 2026 season kicks off with North Carolina vs. TCU in Dublin — and while TCU is heavy favorites to win (74% chance), the spread and total suggest a tighter, lower-scoring battle. North Carolina’s offense still sputters, averaging under 20 points last year, while TCU, under Sonny Dykes, remains consistent — but with a new QB, they may lean on the run. The market expects under 46.5 points and TCU to avoid two receiving TDs. Smart bettors watch for early UNC momentum, then jump in on TCU if the game tightens — timing is everything.
